Trainer:
Andrei Ștefănescu
Andrei has over 20 years of experience in IT. He started his career as a system administrator in a television station. The varied requirements allowed him to interact with the IT field in every relevant branch.
His experience grew in areas such as hardware, networking, software development, databases, computer administration with Windows (Server and Workstation), Linux, and OSX operating systems.
Over time, Andrei has held various key positions (Team Leader, IT Manager), having the opportunity to train and coordinate dozens of young people eager to evolve in the IT field. When cybersecurity became an independent, industry-recognized branch, Andrei focused his energy in that direction, becoming a cybersecurity consultant for various public and private entities.
As a consultant, Andrei has had the opportunity to conduct over 200 penetration tests (both at the application and infrastructure levels). He has also been called upon several times to help stop/analyze a cyber attack. In addition to his Red/Blue team activities, Andrei has been a speaker/coordinator at workshops (some with over 100 participants) aimed at development teams, helping them improve their workflow.
